Size really does matter...and so does the firepower

I've been playing a lot of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters for the PSP lately.  I've always been an R&C fan, because it's a fun series.  Size Matters is a great game.  Short, mind you, but still great, with a fair amount of replay value.  Look for a review soon.

In the same vein with that, EGM gave an exclusive first look at the next-gen R&C game, which I think will be called, in the end, "Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction".  They'll probably drop "Future" from the title sometime in its development cycle.  Still, I'm stoked.  When my family gets a PS3(which will probably be a few years down the road), that'll be one of the first games I play.

And, as you would expect, I've been playing the living hell out of the 360.  As I said I would, I purchased Novadrome and the recently-released Bonus Pack.  I also purchased Small Arms, which is an amazing XBLA game that should not be missed.  It's very much in the same vein as Super Smash Bros. Melee...just with mutants and guns and explosions and that kind of thing.  Novadrome is also very overlooked.  It's made by some of the same dudes who did Carmageddon, as I've already told you.  It's a very good game, rather challenging, actually.  What pisses me off the most about that game, though, is the AI.  They can be really cheap sometimes.  But, hey, that may be just me.

More Halo stuff...beta should be starting within the next few months.  I don't really care about being in the beta, but I will be getting the new, 360-exclusive Halo 2 maps that are released around that time.  Hey, if I can't be in the beta, might as well get the next best thing.

Other games I've been playing on the 360 are Gears of War, which I beat on Casual and am already halfway through on Hardcore; Burnout Revenge, which is SO much better on 360; Need for Speed Carbon, which I have beaten already and purchased several bits of DLC on; and, as usual, I've been playing Halo 2.

I also played a little bit of Burnout Dominator on both the PSP and PS2.  It's very good, and the level of danger you can drive in that game can be truly insane at some parts.  It's something worth trying.

That's it for now.  Wrestlemania 23 is in one week, and it is going to be insanely good.  I won't be watching it, but I know someone who will, and I'll probably look up the results the day after it's all over.  But I just know it's gonna be good.  Until next text blog, which is essentially whenever the hell I feel like it, later!
